Job 42
English Standard Version
Job's Confession and Repentance
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that you can (A)do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 (B)‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things (C)too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 ‘Hear, and I will speak;
(D)I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
6 therefore I despise myself,
and repent in[a] (E)dust and ashes.”
The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends
7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz (F)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take (G)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and (H)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall (I)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 (J)So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes
10 And the Lord (K)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job (L)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his (M)brothers and sisters and all who had (N)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they (O)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[b] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him (P)a piece of money[c] and (Q)a ring of gold.
12 And the Lord blessed (R)the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had (S)14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also (T)seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance (U)among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and (V)saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and (W)full of days.
Job 42
King James Version
42 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
Iov 42
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Smerirea şi căinţa lui Iov
42 Iov a răspuns Domnului şi a zis:
2 „Ştiu că Tu poţi(A) totul
şi că nimic nu poate sta împotriva gândurilor Tale”. –
3 „Cine(B) este acela care are nebunia să-Mi întunece planurile?” –
„Da, am vorbit, fără să le înţeleg,
de minuni, care sunt mai pe sus de mine(C) şi pe care nu le pricep.” –
4 „Ascultă-Mă şi voi vorbi;
te(D) voi întreba şi Mă vei învăţa.” –
5 „Urechea mea auzise vorbindu-se de Tine,
dar acum ochiul meu Te-a văzut.
6 De aceea mi-e scârbă de mine(E)
şi mă pocăiesc în ţărână şi cenuşă.”
7 După ce a vorbit aceste cuvinte lui Iov, Domnul a zis lui Elifaz din Teman: „Mânia Mea S-a aprins împotriva ta şi împotriva celor doi prieteni ai tăi, pentru că n-aţi vorbit aşa de drept de Mine cum a vorbit robul Meu Iov.
8 Luaţi acum şapte(F) viţei şi şapte berbeci, duceţi-vă(G) la robul Meu Iov şi aduceţi o ardere-de-tot pentru voi. Robul Meu Iov să se roage(H) pentru voi, şi numai în vederea lui nu vă voi face după nebunia voastră; căci n-aţi vorbit aşa de drept despre Mine cum a vorbit robul Meu Iov.” 9 Elifaz din Teman, Bildad din Şuah şi Ţofar din Naama s-au dus şi au făcut cum le spusese Domnul. Şi Domnul a ascultat rugăciunea lui Iov. 10 Domnul(I) a adus pe Iov iarăşi în starea lui de la început, după ce s-a rugat Iov pentru prietenii săi. Şi Domnul i-a dat înapoi îndoit(J) decât tot ce avusese. 11 Fraţii(K), surorile şi vechii prieteni ai lui Iov au venit toţi să-l vadă şi au mâncat cu el în casă. L-au plâns şi l-au mângâiat pentru toate nenorocirile pe care le trimisese Domnul peste el, şi fiecare i-a dat un chesita şi un inel de aur. 12 În cei din urmă ani(L) ai săi, Iov a primit de la Domnul mai multe binecuvântări decât primise în cei dintâi. A avut paisprezece mii(M) de oi, şase mii de cămile, o mie de perechi de boi şi o mie de măgăriţe. 13 A avut şapte(N) fii şi trei fete; 14 celei dintâi i-a pus numele Iemima, celei de a doua Cheţia şi celei de a treia Cheren-Hapuc. 15 În toată ţara nu erau femei aşa de frumoase ca fetele lui Iov. Tatăl lor le-a dat o parte de moştenire printre fraţii lor. 16 Iov a mai trăit(O) după aceea o sută patruzeci de ani şi a văzut pe fiii săi şi pe fiii fiilor săi până la al patrulea neam. 17 Şi Iov a murit bătrân şi sătul(P) de zile.
